Music offers free concerts

The Department of Music will present a number of free concerts
during March, starting with a performance by the Genkin
Philharmonic at the monthly Brown Bag Concert on March 5.

The Genkin, UB’s electro-acoustic chamber ensemble, will
perform at noon on the stage of Lippes Concert Hall in Slee Hall,
North Campus. The ensemble performs contemporary music from the
rock, jazz, improvised and classical genres.

Now in its 14th year, the Brown Bag Concert Series is designed
to showcase the talents of UB music students and faculty. The
series of free, informal concerts presented over the lunch hour
allows patrons to catch a glimpse of the kind of programming
offered on a regular basis by the Department of Music. Participants
are invited to bring their lunch and each attendee will receive a
pair of complimentary tickets for a more formal concert within the
following month.

Rounding out the free music events for March are several student
recitals and performances by student ensembles. All are open to the
public:
